Family Returns Book To Libray (It Was 78 Years Overdue)

A man has returned a book to the Oakland Public Library 78 years after it was due. “The hardback copy of Rudyard Kipling’s “Kim” was due back on Aug. 29, 1927, but no one in Jim Pavon’s family realized that it was an overdue library book. ‘It’s classic — we all read it. It sat on a shelf or in a box for years. But I guess no one ever noticed that there was a little library card and sleeve on the back cover that said when it was due’.”
